IU's popularity was discussed in a thread by Uaenas, who delved into how the top soloist became one of the greatest artists in the music scene.
Here's what they revealed!
"Coming from a poor family, you could tell she had that hunger a lot of celebrities from rich families don't. I really don't think it was visuals. If people remember, she was seen as cuter with a chubby face than a beauty.
Then IU had a glow-up when she got paler and lost a lot of weight, which happened around the time she started writing her own music and had creative control over her projects. That's when the deal was definitely sealed about her place in the music industry."
